A month max, IIRC. At the moment it's just under a week out of date: the google 
cached version of [[breakfast]], for example, is from the 29th July.

Nope. You want the "search this site" toolbar button* - if you're on a wikipedia 
webpage when you hit search, it'll automatically add site:www.wikipedia.org. (If you 
can't use the google toolbar, then see the apologies I gave in the last post, and 
ignore this mail).

Using site:www.wikipedia.org rather than site:wikipedia.org also ensures that you get 
only English results, by the way - so that should solve your problem with gobs of 
foreign language results.

Hope this helps :)
